Date: Saturday, November 21, 2009

Meeting Place: The Millburn Library parking lot, 200 Glen Avenue, Millburn, NJ

Time: 6:00 pm team meeting and handouts, 6:30 pm start, 9:30 pm end

Post-Event: Meet at Martini's at event end for finish order, valuable and coveted prizes, food and drink. Martini's is at 40 Main Street, about 2 blocks from the Millburn Library parking lot.

Recommended gear: Appropriate dress for weather, long pants, long sleeve shirt, bug spray (although probably not many bugs this time of year), appropriate footwear, water or other drink, compass, map case, pen and head lamp.

Event: Orienteering requires a map and compass to navigate off road terrain. Dan Schabulin, the President of Hudson Valley Orienteering, will have set a course in the woods of South Mountain Reservation. The objective is to find a pink streamer, the location of which is specified on a map handed out before the event starts. Each pink streamer will have a different point value so teams must determine which strategy will result in the most points.

Teams: People can enter as solos or teams of any number.
